- I have been trying to configure the config files for XDM to allow
- a X window login box to appear on my SGI console but to prevent
- XDM from responding to network broadcast requests. The problem
- here is that a lab of NCD X terminals here on campus have been
- set up to broadcast XDM requests to allow a number of systems to
- paint a 'login menu' on the terminals. The problem is that the
- SGI system also responds with the login window for it's system.
-
- ...so basicly, how do I turn off the ability for the SGI XDM server
- to respond to these network broadcasts? We have tried setting the
- /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file to ":0 Local local /usr/bin/X11/X :0"
- without success...

- Thanks
- Steve
